Abstract
According to the correspondence theory of truth advocated by critical rationalism, truth can only be discovered by systematic scientific research. By a process of methodical testing of falsifiable hypotheses, which embody conjectures about what nomological relationships exist in reality, scientific research is able to approximate its theories, in a quasi-asymptotic way, to the truth. Truth is never finally attained, but rather approached by theories with a higher degree of explanatory power than their predecessors, a higher truth-content and a lower falsity-content (Popper, 1972, pp. 46ff.).
